PHILIPPINE rice imports are projected to exceed five million metric tons (MMT) in marketing year (MY) 2026-2027, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said.

The USDA forecast inbound rice shipments to increase nearly 16% during the period, up from the estimated 4.4 MMT in the ongoing MY 2025-2026.

The rice marketing year runs from July to June of the following year.

The anticipated rise in imports is linked to tighter stock levels carried over from the current marketing year. Rice inventories are expected to drop to 2.9 MMT, slightly below the previous year’s 2.95 MMT.

“Ending stocks are expected to decline compared to the previous marketing year due to the impact of the four-month rice import ban, which reduced stock carryover,” the USDA said.

Palay (unmilled rice) output is projected at 19.68 MMT in MY 2026-2027, reflecting a 0.4% increase from the prior year.

Despite the slight uptick in production and incremental yield gains, the USDA said steady population growth will continue to push demand for the staple grain, which will “keep overall consumption on an upward trend,” the USDA said.

It said Philippine rice consumption in MY 2026-2027 is expected to inch up to 17.65 MMT from 17.6 MMT in the current MY. — Vonn Andrei E. Villamiel

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
